The SA-17 is a solid marker. It's very easy to load & change the co2 on the fly it's also very accurate. If you looking for a pistol buy this one. I would recommend picking up the SA-17 Rifle Combo. It's the best deal ($149.95) you get 2 additional barrel inserts, a 6" barrel extension and a bottom line kit so you can use a HPA or Co2 tank. I'm using the SA-17 as my primary marker.

Love this gun!

This is a great pistol! I used to own the original Ariakon Overlord, and this pistol smokes smokes it.
Among the features I like best are 1 - Magazine: It advertises a 10 round magazine, but when you pull the cap off, and cock the gun before you load it, you will have 13 rounds in your 1st mag! (New TPX mags hold 7 rounds) Very simple to reload, just use Smart Parts grease on the cap to make turning it easier.
2 - Efficiency: This pistol can rapid fire at least 33 rounds without dropping below 240fps! That beats the TPX by almost 10!
3 - Quick Change Co2: The lever on the Sa-17 makes loading the Co2 Fast & easy. I use regular old Crossmans, and they work great. (My overlord would get them stuck)
I would recommend this pistol to anyone who wants a sidearm, but thinks the TPX is a waste of $$$. The Sa17 is bigger, but it's not as annoying as you would think. On my vest I never notice it.
